Latest quilt pattern with a video!

margaret | January 11, 2011

“Spirit of the West” is the latest quilt pattern by Trails of Thread. I hope you’ll take a minute to watch this short video with close ups of the quilt and some really great music. The essence of the quilt is to capture the old west and its influences; a link from the past that is present today.

More information about the pattern (can be three different sizes) is located on the pattern website at: www.patterns2quilt.com.

Great gift for the quilter in your life!

margaret | December 22, 2010

My next online quilt class begins Feb. 5, 2011. This is a class on how to make patterns from your own photographs for pictorial and portrait quilts. It is a 4 week class with lots of extras.

You can work in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or the free software Gimp. Watch all the screen capture “how to” videos for any or all of the three software packages. Pause them and try out the technique and work along or just watch them and work later.

Once you have taken the class you are always welcome to return to another class (no charge). A refresher course for free!

For more information go to www.chiseledincloth.com. Click on “online classes”. Registration is open!

I was looking through some of my animation files and ran across this little puzzle I made. Try your hand at putting this schoolhouse block together. Just drag the lid to the left and pick up a puzzle piece and place it on the background. Have fun! How did you do?

This video is just for fun! Be sure to watch the video below this one! It is inspirational and very timely this time of the year!
